This is the picturesque fishing village of Bray. I tell you, they don't call this country the Emerald Isle for nothing. Despite the random and unannounced downpours, Saturday in Bray was delightful. Except for when the bumper car operator scolded me--repeatedly--for driving on the wrong side of the bumper car rink.
On Sunday we went to Kilmainham Gaol. When imprisoned during the Irish Civil War, Grace Gifford Plunkett smuggled some paints into her cell and painted this picture of the Madonna and Child. Sad and stunning.
We also saw a great movie at the Irish Film Institute, Look Both Ways. Yes, I know it's Australian. Not Irish.
I've uploaded some photos from our weekend outings--enjoy!

Of course the rain doesn't bother you. You were trained in Oregon. We would have never left your house if we were afraid of getting wet. Hhhmmm. Who'd have thought Eugene would be conditioning for Ireland?
